Story No. 1
Carolina Panthers make two signings
The Carolina Panthers promised more arrivals before preparations for the upcoming campaign ramped up later this summer. Two new faces joined the ranks on Monday with OTAs on the immediate horizon.
Defensive tackle Antwuan Jackson Jr., who was one of the standout performers during Carolina's recent rookie minicamp, was rewarded for his outstanding tryout efforts with a contract. This came shortly after the Panthers signed undrafted free-agent offensive tackle B.J. Wilson to a short-term deal.
This was a historic moment for the mammoth presence, who became the first football player emanating from Quincy University to wind up on an NFL roster. Whether Wilson or Jackson can push their way onto the 53 at the end of training camp remains to be seen.
